The
Choir of St John's has a large repertoire of music ranging
from medieval plainsong to 21st century commissions, and
everything in between. Psalms are normally sung to Anglican
Chant with hymns from the 'Hymns: Ancient and Modern'
hymn book.
The Choir sings three
choral services every Sunday
(except on the first Sunday of the month) in addition
to concerts, weddings and extra services.
During the Edinburgh
Festival month of August, the Choir sings a particulary
large repetoire of music including full choral mass settings,
frequently accompaned by orchestra. Services usually following
a particular theme or period of music and form part of
the the Festival
of Spirituality and Peace (FOSP), based at St John's
during August.
